Feast date: Sep 08<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church celebrates today the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary on its traditional fixed date of September 8, nine months after the December 8 celebration of her Immaculate Conception as the child of Saints Joachim and Anne.<\/p>\n

The circumstances of the Virgin Mary\u2019s infancy and early life are not directly recorded in the Bible, but other documents and traditions describing the circumstances of her birth are cited by some of the earliest Christian writers from the first centuries of the Church. <\/p>\n

These accounts, although not considered authoritative in the same manner as the Bible, outline some of the Church\u2019s traditional beliefs about the birth of Mary.<\/p>\n

The \u201cProtoevangelium of James,\u201d which was probably put into its final written form in the early second century, describes Mary\u2019s father Joachim as a wealthy member of one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Joachim was deeply grieved, along with his wife Anne, by their childlessness. \u201cHe called to mind Abraham,\u201d the early Christian writing says, \u201cthat in the last day God gave him a son Isaac.\u201d <\/p>\n

Joachim and Anne began to devote themselves extensively and rigorously to prayer and fasting, initially wondering whether their inability to conceive a child might signify God\u2019s displeasure with them. <\/p>\n

As it turned out, however, the couple were to be blessed even more abundantly than Abraham and Sarah, as an angel revealed to Anne when he appeared to her and prophesied that all generations would honor their future child: \u201cThe Lord has heard your prayer, and you shall conceive, and shall bring forth, and your seed shall be spoken of in all the world.\u201d <\/p>\n

After Mary\u2019s birth, according to the Protoevangelium of James, Anne \u201cmade a sanctuary\u201d in the infant girl\u2019s room, and \u201callowed nothing common or unclean\u201d on account of the special holiness of the child. The same writing records that when she was one year old, her father \u201cmade a great feast, and invited the priests, and the scribes, and the elders, and all the people of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Joachim brought the child to the priests,\u201d the account continues, \u201cand they blessed her, saying: \u2018O God of our fathers, bless this child, and give her an everlasting name to be named in all generations\u2019 . . . And he brought her to the chief priests, and they blessed her, saying: \u2018O God most high, look upon this child, and bless her with the utmost blessing, which shall be for ever.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The protoevangelium goes on to describe how Mary\u2019s parents, along with the temple priests, subsequently decided that she would be offered to God as a consecrated Virgin for the rest of her life, and enter a chaste marriage with the carpenter Joseph.<\/p>\n

Saint Augustine described the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary as an event of cosmic and historic significance, and an appropriate prelude to the birth of Jesus Christ. \u201cShe is the flower of the field from whom bloomed the precious lily of the valley,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The fourth-century bishop, whose theology profoundly shaped the Western Church\u2019s understanding of sin and human nature, affirmed that \u201cthrough her birth, the nature inherited from our first parents is changed.\u201d <\/p>\n
